By 2030, all jobs will be replaced by AI and robots.
Easily.
The US labor force is about 170 million workers.
About 80 million of those jobs include hands-on work.
Automated systems can work four shifts a week.
Replacing all physical labor would require about 20 million

Your estimates are about right.
However, intelligent robots in humanoid form will far exceed the population of humans, as every person will want their own personal R2-D2 and C-3PO.
And then there will be many robots in industry for every human to provide products & services.
